Features & Reviews
Dayna File
john Delacour reviews this device and concludes that for sheer portability and ease of use, it's the best for information sharing between Macs and PCs
IBM Model 70
Since their launch in April 1987, IBM's '286 and '386-based PS/2 models have been steadily beaten in price and performance by offerings from rival manufacturers. Peter Jackson reports on how Big Blue is fighting back.
Borland Sprint
Heralded as the ultimate powerful word processor, Sprint has been a long time arriving. Guy Kewney reports on his experiences after an extended period of road-testing this most configurable of products.
Computer Viruses
What are they... how do they work... can they be prevented... It is certainly hoped that viruses are not widespread, but when you know you've got it, it's too late for wishful thinking.
Fullwrite Professional
John Delacour reviews this 'beautifully implemented program' which won the 1987 MacUser Editors' Choice Award for Best Vaporware.
A Turbo TSR
Turbo Pascal has everything you need to craft your own TSRs
Paying its Way
In the second half of his spreadsheet tutorial, Anthony Meier explains how well-designed macros can automate many tasks at present performed manually.
The Ultimate Link
ISDN - a new technology that could change the way we use computers and telephones - is closer than you might think.
Putting an end to Hotkey Hassles
Share your keyboard with greedy TSR programs by freeing up spoken-for key combinations. Robert Morton looks at ALLKEYS, which toggles hotkeys off and on, so you can install and use the pop-ups you need while keeping a fully functioning keyboard.
Desktop Publishing
Pagemaker 3.0
One of the first desktop publishing packages, Page-maker, has struggled hard to keep step with the increasing demands of the DTP market. Henry Budget describes the improvements of this latest release.
If the Face Fits, Print It
To produce professional-looking documents, it is necessary to have some understanding of the basics of typography. Kathy Lang describes the elements of letter design and how to match your typefaces to your needs.
Timeworks
There's no need to feel left out because you can't afford the super-powerful Ventura Publisher. Roger Howorth looks at Timeworks, a DTP package which provides PC and ST owners with many of the facilities at a fraction of the cost.
Ready Set Go! 4
John Donaldson looks at this Machintosh-based DTP system that offers plenty of features for those who want to combine text and graphics in a well-designed document. With the Machintosh world sporting plenty of worthy DTP packages, how does this one compare?
Words & Pictures
For many people, a full-blown DTP system provides too many facilities for their needs. Martin Wren-Hilton checks out the enhanced text with graphics capabilities of the leading word-processing packages.
Good Show
Simon Jones surveys the hardware and software required to turn a mundane set of figures into exciting slides for overhead presentation. With the right use of colour and graphics, you can turn a disastrous financial loss into a technicolour achievement.
